Soaking Hot Pools at Welcome Flat, Copland Track

Welcome Flat Hot Pools is located in West Coast in the south islnad, New Zealand. If you walk along Copland Track for 6 hours, it will arrive at a hot spring.

Copland Track is in the 26km south of Fox Glacier. There is a big hut in Welcome Flat. You should go with much food and beer and should be happy-go-lucky for several days.

It walks from a hut and the hot spring is springing at the place of several minutes.

It flowed out of the fountainhead and four pools are covered with hot water the bottom. Each pools differ in the temperature of hot water. You can take a bath, with looking at the mountain of the Southern Alps. It is surely the highest experience.
